94 Points - James Suckling

Tasting notes: Brilliant ruby red in color, on the nose this wine offers  scents of red fruits, plums, and violets. Also evident are notes of blond tobacco, graphite, damp underbrush, and toasty notes. On the palate, it is pleasantly refreshing, with elegant and balanced tannins that leave a long finish of toasted and bitter cacao notes, which come from aging in wood. Will age well for eight years or more. 

This is the winery’s most historic wine, the first Viticcio label, made  with a blend of Sangiovese grapes selected from our vineyards and rounded out with a small addition of Merlot.
